Sweet, just a few more trillion dollars in surplus and we'll get rid of that deficit!

You know we'll just funnel money into Israel so they can do the dirty work, right?

That's a pretty dumb blog post.

Bush n Co. has been over-estimating war-time expenses to come off as some kind of financial heroes of the kingdom of poop.

If we paid off the federal debt, the entire money system would collapse.  the banks run this country .

In either case, I think the deficit for fiscal 2007 will be a lot lower: $135 billion (i.e., a harmless 1.0% of GDP).  I also see that if the current trends continue, the unified budget would move into balance in October 2008.  [The Democrats are still saying there's "no way" the budget will balance even by 2012; I don't know which numbers they're looking at, either, but I will be listening closely to their reaction if the budget does balance in 2008 or 2009.]

nobody posted this yet.  Debt isn't a horrible thing but anybody would agree that a deficit is.  I mean sure, we have a huge war to pay for and probably no SS for anybody that posts here.  But that's not as bad as a deficit.

So, I'm pretty sure those numbers are crap because they don't take war spending into account.  Carry on.
